Each antenna is engineered for peak performance over the U.S. signal spectrum. The majority of markets have one or more channels broadcast in High-VHF.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews

Installed this antenna in the attic (cement siding & pine shake roof). Pointing it properly made a really big difference in signal strength. With some adjustment (and moving it away from the metal furnace flue) I picked up all the HD channels from the tower 25 miles away with a signal strength between 50-100. It picked up all the channels off the UHF and VHF towers 25 miles to the north when pointing the antenna north, and even picked up the channels off the UHF tower 5 miles away which were about 120 degrees to the left.

I had previously purchased a ClearStream 4 UHF antenna but didn't realize it didn't do VHF. While the ClearStream 4 is fairly compact and easy to install in an attic, the Winegard HD7694P is a bit trickier to install/adjust/point inside an attic space as it's length, weight, and long metal rods tend to run into the attic 2x4's. The UHF performance is just as good as the ClearStream 4, if not just a little better.

The only channels I don't get are from antenna towers either 75 miles+ away, or in a totally different direction (which I didn't care about anyway). My cable run is about 50 feet long and I'm not using a signal booster with my Tivo Premier. So we are cancelling our DirectTV ($65/month) satellite service, because now we get lots of HD channels for free.

Moral of the story: Do your channel/tower/signal homework. Check the location of the TV towers with the channels you want on antennapoint.com or antennaweb.org.

Final tip: When pointing your antenna, point it once, check the signal strength, and then adjust its orientation to improve the weakest channel you really want. The higher power/better signal channels will probably still be good and you'll get that weaker channel's signal you want up into the "green".

If you are on the fence about buying this antenna (the Winegard HD8200U), get it! It is worth the money. I bought it for my parents and my parents and I couldn't be happier with it.Here is the back story: My parents live in Ashland, WI and get their TV signals from Duluth, MN. They live about 55 miles from Duluth, as the crow flies (I believe). Even though they didn't have to switch until June (2009), most Duluth stations switched to digital-only broadcasts in February (2009). Ever since then, my parents have gotten no TV signal - well, they get one analog station weakly... So, I got them a digital converter box - no luck - no signal at all. They also recently bought a Sony HD TV with its own digital converter built in. Still no signal. I bought a HD-compatible amplifier and mounted it on their antenna mast - the analog station came in better, but no digital signal.So, I ordered the Winegard HD8200U after reading reviews and doing some research. I also bought the Winegard AP-8275 Chromstar 2000 Series Pre Amplifier at the same time because I guess I wanted to buy the amplifier that was "made" to go with this antenna.The antenna comes in a very long box and that might be a little hard to deal with. My dad and I assembled it on the ground outside their house today and this thing is *quite large*. The pictures in the instructions are very small and could be a little more clear. Also, my dad had to run into town and pick up some replacement bolts and nuts, since we somehow lost several of them - not sure they were ever in the box. We put it on a 10-foot mast, ran the cord in through the window of the house and tested it. Even on the ground - without being on top of the house - this thing gets amazing reception.Read more ›

In my attic I installed this preamplifier as in this order: 1. ClearStream™ 4 Ultra Long Range Outdoor DTV Antenna in Attic , 2. Wineguard LNA-200 Boost XT Digital HDTV preamplifier, 3. USB power inserter and 4. splitter (8way Distribution Amplifier). I now get 63 channels and 10 FM channels with the ClearStream™ 4 Ultra Long Range Outdoor DTV Antenna in Attic. Before adding a preamplifier I was only getting 12 stations that are about 35 miles away.

Note: I originally had used Antennas Direct PA18 UHF/VHF Antenna Pre-Amplifier Kit, but I returned it after this Winegard preamplifier out performed it. This Boost XT preamplifier has a built-in FM trap that attenuates FM signal so that it does not interfere with digital TV channels. This winegard has Gain 20 dB L-VHF, 15 dB H-VHF, 18 dB UHF and the Antennas Direct has gain18.6 dB VHF/15.4 dB UHF gain.

Please note that Cable Splitters can not be installed between the preamplifier and the power inserter. It they are in the wrong place, they will kill all signals as the splitters will block the preamplifier's operating power which will turn it into the equivalent of a brick.

This preamplifier consists of preamplifier, power inserter, 3’ USB cable, 110 V wall adapter, one zip tie, and two weather boots. The preamplifier is mounted on the antenna boom or on the mast as CLOSE TO THE ANTENNA AS POSSIBLE. The power inserter is mounted indoors before the splitters. The preamplifier is located as close as possible to the antenna feed point because the weak received signal must be amplified before it loses signal going through the coaxial cable, and also before it can be subjected to interference from sources between the antenna and the receiver.Read more ›
